Can a stiff neck go away overnight?

A stiff neck going away overnight? Sometimes, yeah! It’s like winning the lottery, isn’t it? I’ve had those magical mornings where I wake up, expecting the worst, and…poof! Gone. Like it never happened. Usually, if I wake up with that tell-tale twinge, I start doing some slow, careful neck rolls right there in bed. You know, trying to coax it back to normal. And maybe some shoulder stretches too, just in case. Sometimes that works wonders.

But other times…ugh. It’s like my neck is made of concrete. I remember this one time, I woke up with a stiff neck so bad I could barely turn my head! I think I slept funny – maybe my pillow was too high? Or maybe I’d been hunched over my laptop too long the day before. Who knows? Anyway, that one lasted for days. It was awful. Heat packs helped a bit, I guess. So, yeah, it’s a real mixed bag. It can totally vanish overnight, or it can hang around like an unwelcome houseguest. Just depends, I guess!
